Nice deal getting one for free. Best Buy told me they are dropping it. I got the last one from our local store.

Yeah, thanks to Sprint Customer Retention I'm sporting a $5 unlimited data plan - known as the $15 Data Pack @ http://www.sprint.com/landings/attachables/# . For a brief moment (while switching between representatives) I had this elusive $2.50 data plan but rep #1 said that was a problematic code and that plan would bite me down the road. He offered me the $5 plan, which I was totally fine with.

How long have you been on the $2.50 plan? Any truth to the "system glitch" line I got?

I should add that I too tried to get the Snap at Best Buy with this unlimited data plan and got NOTHING BUT HASSLE. I eventually gave up and had Customer Retention mail me the phone. Time will tell if the $100 rebate is honored, I was told it would.

I was thinking of going for the HTC Hero, but didn't want to switch plans. I have been a Sprint customer for over 9 years and have gotten alot of free stuff over the years which amounts to almost the same as the EDP. I went from a Motorola Q9C (actally 3 of them) to the Snap (3 of them also). I went to Radio Shack and they were free as an upgrade. He had to find 2 of them at another store that he shipped in for me. I renewed my contract a day or so before and Sprint credited me $50 for the 2 lines. I then activated the 2 Snaps and it just added a day to my contract. So Sprint actually paid me $100 to haul 2 Snaps away. A couple of week later, I called Radio Shaxk again and the found one more Snap and shipped it in. Activated it and got a free month of service. I think I got the last 3 from Radio Shack on the west coast as I was told.

A quick follow-up, a pleasant surprise, the $100 rebate on my Snap showed up in under 8 weeks. And I'm chugging along happily on the $5 unlimited data plan.

Sorry so late with a response, I have since switched to the TP2..anyway I've had the plan for a few months now. I had no trouble at Best Buy with this plan when I purchased the Snap.
